Abstract
A display apparatus includes a display panel, a data analyzer, a logic core and a latch. The display panel is configured to display an image. The data analyzer is configured to analyze input image data. The logic core is configured to compensate all of line data, compensate a part of the line data, or not compensate all of the line data according to an analysis result of the data analyzer. The latch is configured to receive compensated data from the logic core.
